I'd echo Elijah's question. Thoughts on it would be appreciated.

My 15U isn't a top prospect (though he hopes to play in college), so this week's WWBA doesn't mean much more than experience for him. But I wonder what to tell him to aim for. Earlier in the week he had a good outing vs the team that looks on track to win his pool (3 innings, 6 Ks, gave up one single, no ER). But his velo was a few mph slower than his usual (he pitched at nearly midnight, which may be one reason). I assumed that velocity was going to be the main thing, and that the outing wasn't going to be a plus because of his radar gun numbers. No? He will pitch at least once more this week--what is most important to his showing well?
